Depending on how much media you like to carry around in your pocket, then you may be interested in the latest 8GB (pictured) and 12GB USB Flash drives from Verbatim.
The latest additions to the Store 'n' Go range are, the company claims, just a small bit bigger than regular USB drives and will allow you to store hundreds of stolen torrent albums, TV shows, movies and YouTube clips. OK, Verbatim didn't actually say that bit, I did, but you know what you'll be using them for.
I currently use a 4GB drive from Kingston and it's amazing just how much stuff you can now carry easily without have to worry about space. The 12GB drive will cost around £100 which might seem like a lot but 12GB in a tiny device is a lot of storage. Verbatim says that it will take 12 hours of MPEG-1 video, about 6,000 300-DPI photos, 6 hours of DVD-quality video or tens of thousands of documents.
Both drives come with Mobile Launchpad, a utility for downloading applications that can be run directly from the Verbatim USB Drive. These include things like mobile photo databases, ID/Password management tools and others. The USB connector is flip-out but even more useful is a bundled extension lead.
